The image shows a man sitting up in bed holding a book or an almanac. He has a pointed nose, a slightly wrinkled face, and a firm expression. He wears a nightcap and a loose-fitting nightshirt. Beside him, a woman lies covered and sleeping, with only her face visible. The bed is covered with a simple blanket. The background includes heavy shading, possibly curtains or a canopy, creating a dim, nighttime atmosphere indoors.
